They were so fucking raw. The crowd was amazing. I absolutely loved it. I thought Hollywood was going to be the show to beat but it's very nice that the Bay Area knows how to stand the fuck up... Despite hating all Bay Area crowds because everyone here likes to stand in the crowd with their arms folded.

Anyone else seen them recently or at slims this weekend?

This was pretty crazy.

It was great show until the encore. They did some new covers, Orion (Metallica) and Sludgefeast (Dino jr) during the standard set. Pretty much played all old stuff, lots of songs from their 1st album. In the encore they played carry the zero, another original and the don't fear the reaper. Great. Everyone though the show was over, it was almost midnight. Half the crowd left and they came back out and did a cover of The smiths "how soon is now"... And they extended the jam for 45 minutes.

I'm not exaggerating. Sooooo trippy. Doug looked like he was tripping balls. I've never seen anything like it. They had amps set up in the back corners of the venue (by thr bars and merch tables). And their friends starting playing guitars all over the venue. At one point there were 6 people playing guitar. Doug was playing literally standing next to me on the ledge by the merch table in the middle of the crowd. They kept switching spots/instruments. Crazy shit.
